    Socialist policy is extremely popular. Socialist terminology is extremely unpopular. I’m fine with “Epstein class”. Don’t let your words deafen the proletariat to your message.

    It’s a rhetorical tactic to draw attention to the juxtaposition between the lives of poor people who don’t know French words and the rich they all but worship, can people stop denigrating it as a term? It goddamn works in an argument. You can tell someone their worldview was given to them by the Epstein class. You can tell people Steve Banon and Jeff Epstein, members of the Epstein class, conspired to psyop them toward being antifeminist. You can say the Epstein class directly controls the White House because there are literal video evidence of the AG facing away from rape victims as she covers for the rapists by seguing to the supposed health of the economy.

      Seriously, this is the most “you’re not being left the right way” post I’ve seen in awhile.
